As we had hinted earlier, the Linux-based Nokia N810 internet tablet is now official. This palm sized PC connects to the Internet via wi-fi and can have a Bluetooth connection with a cellphone. The slide out keyboard is a highly desirable option and can give the iPod touch some run for money.
GPS navigation is built in and the unit comes loaded with maps to let you go to any particular point of interest. 2 GB internal storage is available, but with a 10 GB memory card stuck init could carry some serious amount of music. You could carry your videos, if you prefer and view them on the 4.13 inch screen at 800×480 touch-screen. Though that is not an improvement over the earlier N800 model, it does improve in terms of a 20% brighter screen and a 400 MHz processor. Looks like a pretty attractive deal at $479, ships in November.
